In today's world, I don't share your optimism. 😂

A surge in cannabis-related businesses seems to indicate the economic benefits materialized.... 🤔

Pretty sure that's the point of prisons, although the western world has lost sight of this long ago....

Just over a year ago, I bought a relatively expensive Eagle Creek roller suitcase. I loved it - until my last trip - after which a sizeable chunk of one of the wheels broke off. And a wheelie suitcase without a wheel is next to useless. So my questions: Are the wheels on suitcases replaceable? And if they are, does anybody know of a place in Bangkok where I might have this done - if possible in my neighborhood (around the Seacon Square area)?

Have you noticed locals prune trees to the extreme with no leaves remaining. We had our village done, not a single leaf on any tree. My neighbor another example. She does it once in a while. Attached photo after a week, some green stuff coming out. Question is why bother having a tree if you go Kojak on them. 

 

They cut every tree in our village like this 3 years in a row.  Half of the trees are now dead (only stumps remaining) and the other half are clearly diseased and weakened.  Thai gardening at it's finest. 

We live in bass-ackward times.

Plastic bags are deemed bad for carrying your shopping home and reusing them but it is perfectly OK, and expected, to have to purchase plastic bags to pick up dogs excrement preserving it in a plastic grave which will be buried in a landfill and remain entombed for years, which if left alone would return to the earth within a few days at most.

Further proof of the lack of sense any of this makes, is the fact that people get so bent out of shape when they see dog feces but aren't bothered in the slightest with the septic waste (human excrement) from every house in the city draining into the street drains, which often flood and spreads nasty bacteria and smells, and in some villages, like the one I reside in Bangkok, the garden team uses the water from the street drains to water the public area gardens and parks where the children play and the dogs are walked.

Many things in the world we now live in are laughable due to the lack of logic applied and misguided "outrage"... 😂🤦‍♂️

Waiting for the outrage to come regarding how vile bird poop is and what over-the-top "solutions" will be devised. 😂

It's often best to just sit back and just smile at all the absurdity instead of trying to make any sense of it all. 😊

File for a return from Amazon. Anyone who has dealt with NBTC previously would likely give you the same advice. 

"The Thai authorities remain vigilant, cracking down on such activities to protect consumer interests and uphold the law." 

 

Replace the word "consumer" with Tobacco Authority of Thailand, formerly known as Thailand Tobacco Monopoly (TTM) for a more accurate statement. 

Only 1 out of the 4 motorcyclists in the picture is wearing a helmet.  2 out of the 4 are wearing a mask. 

Picture perfect for the safety attitudes.????‍♂️

Turns out he is a Thai national. Don't expect the original story to be corrected in the media. 

Villa Market Bangkok has this. Perhaps they have it there too or can get it if you ask.

Plastic is used in nearly everything today. Vehicles, computers, cooking appliances, food packages, drinks, etc... the list is inexhaustible yet we are supposed to believe that banning plastic shopping bags is going to make the difference. The Facts don't add up!

Stop drinking the Koolaid!

Almost comical reading some of these comments saying that this is good for the environment and going to help nature. ???? 

Congratulations, you are officially indoctrinated !

 

None of this nonsense is going to help the environment or nature. What would help is if people would stop throwing their waste into the waterways and start recycling more.

 

Banning plastic bags is not the answer and only stands to benefit the shop owners and retailers who no longer have to provide bags for the goods their customers buy. Think they'll lower their prices to pass the savings on to you?? ???? Keep dreaming!

 

Promote personal responsibility instead of banning useful items.  ????

This is the result of trying to control people through laws and regulations instead of teaching the people to stop throwing their waste in the khlongs and waterways.

 

Just like a lot of parents nowadays, don't want to bother teaching children anything to help them grow up to be responsible.

 

Let's just pass more laws to control all movements of the people worldwide. 

 

Idiocracy at its finest!

 
There will be some posters on here very upset with Trump when this does not happen.

Doubtful you will see any posters on this forum upset about this. The mods do a great job of creating a "safe space" for liberals.....

As Americans, respecting demagogues that act like they are the dictator Kings of a nation that is supposed to be a constitutional democratic republic, is not required, and is indeed contrary to core American values. That he constantly calls the press the enemy of the people should be a red flag -- this is NOT a normal situation, that's the rhetoric of authoritarian dictators throughout the ages. 

Please provide specific examples of HOW he acts like a dictator. The truth is, he is one of the most, if not the most, transparent Presidents America has ever had.

He has never said the "press is the enemy" of the people. Stop spreading this lie.

He HAS said that the "fake news" is the enemy of the people, which I believe is true, don't you?

Or do you think we should encourage and applaud the constant barrage of "editorial and opinion" based reporting packaged as "news"?

He wasn't elected to tiptoe around your feelings, he was elected to do what most past Presidents failed to do: exactly what he said he was going to do when he was running for election. Everything he has done thus far was included in his election campaign promises.

IMO, it is quite refreshing to see a President who actually does what he said he was going to do. That's deserving of respect in my book!
